Constellation Software Inc. (“Constellation”) (TSX: CSU) announced today that it has completed, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Trapeze Software Inc. (“Trapeze”), the acquisition of Grampian Software Holdings Limited (“Grampian”).
Trapeze Chief Executive Officer Mark Miller stated, “As a leading provider of employee management systems to the U.K. bus industry, Grampian is a great addition to Trapeze. The company’s duty allocation system complements our current solution offering, which helps us to deliver a more comprehensive transport enterprise system to the U.K. public transport market. In addition, Grampian services the distillery industry with leading products designed to manage the daily operations of these facilities. We welcome Grampian customers, employees and products to Trapeze.”
“Grampian is another example of a typical tuck-in acquisition for Constellation,” said Barry Symons, Chief Financial Officer of Constellation. “With a total purchase price of approximately US$2 million, this acquisition furthers our goals of allocating capital toward building our existing businesses and driving our acquired revenue growth.”
